It shows where the busses are located at exactly (the green busses) are the ones you want to search for to know when the next one will be approaching your bus stop. Sometimes, there are delays but it should still be accurate and not far off. I like this app is VERY convenient to get around especially if you are on a time bind. It will tell you specifically when the next bus is coming even if a delay happens. Y’all should get this app if you guys ride the Metro. Super convenient honestly. It shows you the routes the bus number is taking and the path and all the stops etc. If you are lost this is another way to quickly find where you are. It’s like a GPS as well as a bus scheduler put into 1. For the most part, this app is accurate.

The app is very nice! It helps me to know when to start going to the bus stop but Only problem I have is it doesn’t show if a bus is delayed or not. It always lights green when the bus is on time or near but it never tells you if it’s late Doesn’t show delays The app is very nice!

I found this app very helpful. It allowed me to get to school. There were a couple of times within the 3yrs that used it when buses were running late or wouldn’t show up at all, so I wish Metro could keep this app updated with that info. Other than that i thought it was pretty easy to use and helpful. Helpful but could use some updates I found this app very helpful. It allowed me to get to school.

Great visualizations of local routes, but should also include Park & Ride Routes. Ideally, this should be combined with the QTicketing app to have a 1 stop app. Good but can be better Great visualizations of local routes, but should also include Park & Ride Routes.

All this app is missing is the ability to differentiate which bus is which on routes that have 2 different destinations. Such as 137 Eastbound. Before the complete overhaul of the app, it would say whether it was the Maxey Rd. P&R or just the Denver Harbor TC bus.
